Heartattack and Vine

This is a vinyl LP pressing. In the early 1970s, Tom Waits signed with Asylum Records and recorded a series of highly - acclaimed albums. His noir tales about the after - midnight underworld in these albums turned the seedy into the sublime, with songs full of dark humor and profound longing. Even after decades and several musical evolutions, Waits' Asylum years remain special to many fans. Waits' first seven Asylum albums have been remastered and will be re - released by Anti - Records. Released in 1980, 'Heartattack and Vine' was Waits' final Elektra Asylum album. It built on the raw blues style of 'Blue Valentine' with the intense title track, the funky, organ - driven 'Downtown', and the lively NOLA blues of 'Mr. Siegal'. The album also features some of Waits' most popular ballads, like 'Jersey Girl' which was a hit for Bruce Springsteen. 'On the Nickle' is a touching song about the homeless on 5th street in downtown LA, and 'Ruby's Arms' has a beautiful Bach - like melody.

To use this vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the start of the record. Listen at a comfortable volume. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Avoid touching the grooves with your fingers to keep the sound quality high. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently clean the grooves. Enjoy the amazing music of Tom Waits!
